Conclusion from hodinkee “…To me, this new stainless steel Geophysic 1958 could be in the running for one of the best all-purpose daily watches a man can own. It does everything, and does it well. It can be dressed up, or dressed down. It’s not too big, or too small. Consider it a far more interesting, more balanced Rolex Explorer I, if you will. I think the Geophysic might be the most interesting tribute watch JLC has done so far, because it really moves beyond the realm of a niche watch, which a Polaris, DSA, or even a Reverso could fall into, and opens up a whole new category, and a versatile category at that. …”
